Re: [whatwg/fetch] Request body streams should use chunked encoding (#966)

The compatibility concern you describe as 1) is not the compatibility concern we’ve been speaking of. If proxies uniformly buffered, I don’t think that’s a compat concern.

Instead, it’s proxies that fail the request or end up in bad states (and there’s plenty of prior art in WAFs to highlight state confusion around chunked responses that would support this). Here, the compat risks range from failure to incomplete data to having the client machine or network enter a “bad” state.
